Re: "When the other preschoolers were reading See Spot Run, I was reading Hamlet!"

[(Anonymous)]

I AM this variety of asshole, and believe me, I didn't actually understand any of the too-advanced stuff I read as a kid. Revisiting some of it years later has often proven embarrassing.

Same here. I'm four years younger than my sister and I read everything when she did. Didn't mean I understood Macbeth when I was ten. But I read it.

OTOH, I was constantly being disciplined in grade one reading class for reading Ramona novels instead of See Spot Run.

AYRT

Well okay, that's just horseshit. Ramona books are 100% appropriate for a six-year-old. I have very fond memories of them to this day. Absent additional information (like if you were reading Ramona books and loudly calling all the other kids stupid for reading See Spot Run, or if you were reading Ramona books whilst lobbing molotov cocktails into the teachers' parking lot), I'd say your teacher was being a jerk, disciplining you for that.

Ramona books are the greatest books. Reading the Ramona books was the first time I felt like there were grown-ups in the world who understood me and sympathized instead of just laughing / being annoyed at my questions and mistakes. It was like a little open door into the garden of empathy, just when I needed it.

And yeah, I don't know what your teacher was thinking. >:(

I'm that asshole, too! I read a ton of stuff (completely indiscriminately) in grade school that I didn't understand at all. The result: I developed some serious misconceptions about the meanings of words and later missed out on lots of great books that I would have loved as a teenager because, omg, I totally read that when I was like, five or something.

I can see where the side-eye comes from, because I am side-eyeing my younger self all the time.
